title = "Optical packet local area network with collision-free reception",
abstract = "The paper describes a proposed optical packet local area network (LAN), built around a central hub consisting of an N x N frequency router followed by a fast tunable optical filter at each output port. Users are connected to the hub by a pair of fibers, one used for transmission and another for reception. Transmission is accomplished by a fast tunable laser capable of switching at nanosecond speeds between the N wavelengths of the system. Data are carried by amplitude shift keying (ASK) impressed by an external modulator. At reception, the signal is demodulated by a conventional direct-detection receiver.",
